Default newbie question

I'm a newbie so my question my sound stupid but I want to know. I just recently bought a Cen ATX and I was watching alot of the videos on this site and noticed 99% of the vehicles can do wheelies. I have tried to do it with mine and cannot do it. Is there a way of doing it or is it that I need a more powerful engine.

The ATX will wheelie off of a bump under full throttle...

To do wheelies from stand still

- OS .18 CVRX engine
- MT2 Gearing
- Soft stickey tires in rear
- proper engine tuning
- MAYBE clutch upgrade


P.S> I asked the same question as you ha ha ha!

I mostly drive on the local BMX track which is dirt, cause the closest offroad tracks are about 50 minutes away.

A BMX track sounds ideal for the ATX. My son's ATX is very fun on a ballfield or any loose dirt. But I have never come close to a wheelie. I upgraded the motor with the .18 piston and sleeve and it still does not wheelie, but spins and fishtails on hard accelerations. I did put larger tires on it and the acceleration suffered a little, but it still takes off pretty fast and handles great.

No replacement for displacement. My Nemesis is a wheelie machine. Sorry to rub it in.
